Do you think that there is more than 2 genders?

[Metalliku]

What do you think?

(I cant think for a text post right now)

[Ad Bot]

[LeetZero]

That is one number too many.

[ultimamax]

gender doesnt exist its a social construct

so it would make sense that someone can be somewhere in the middle in terms of their behavior

Whoops

gender doesnt exist its a social construct

It being a 'social construct' is what gives in inherent meaning. Much like the reason why people call Frankenstein's monster Frakenstein himself, if consensus is to define gender as one thing, it is that thing regardless of your opinion unless you somehow get everyone to think of it the same way as you. This is how etymology works.

I only believe in 4. Male, female, and the trans versions of both genders and that's it. There really isn't any more that are real and aren't sjw made genders

This seems to be the most reasonable route to me, people will go

well if we're going that far then society itself is a social construct and doesn't exist, and then that social construct about the social constru- you see how paradoxical of an argument that is, I'm fine with trans existing and all that because it's a legitimately reasonable way to distinct one another's gender, but forget SJW's and all their dumb bullstuff that comes along with it.

I'ma agree with Insert here, 4 genders seems to be right.

Gender dysphoria is actually a thing. But it only concerns TWO genders.

Anyone who says they are of a different gender from male/female is an arrogant attention-seeker.

so I guess science is a social construct too
nothing objective about it?

If the majority of people started citing commonly that there were 57 genders, science would have nothing to do with it, it would just be a commonly accepted fact either way. The reason it's not that way is because a majority of people recognize having more than three genders is confusing and stupid. Saying "because science" is a handicapped blanket statement that shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

-mostly masculine
-mostly feminine
-somewhere in between

you didn't get my argument

science is objective
it may be our tailored to how we see the universe but science and physics are objective constants

what you're basically arguing is

Much like the reason why people call Frankenstein's monster Frakenstein himself, if consensus is to define X as one thing, it is that thing regardless of your opinion unless you somehow get everyone to think of it the same way as you. This is how etymology works.

which is why I brought up science, which is objective
if everyone woke up thinking the world was flat does that make the world flat?

the same can be said for gender

[MoltenKitten]

Anyone who believes there are more than 2 needs a mental evaluation. Even if you are trans you are still one of those genders, sticking trans onto it is just an attention grab.

Etymology and language aren't objective.

You're missing my point. If everyone woke up and decided that the word gender was synonymous with pineapple, gender would be synonymous with pineapple. I was saying that the word is given an inherent purpose because of how it's popularly used, and that calling something a social construct is like calling water wet.

I guess there is some defined difference between gender and love, but good loving luck finding what it exactly is. I'm of the sort that believe gender is a useless term and should just be synonymous with love, but it's not up to me so yeah

And thus the thread is derailed into an argument over gender being a "social construct"

Never change blf

[beachbum111111]

gender == love
